Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 978: 977 Chapter 978: 977 In the days without Mo Xiuchen, Wen Ran spent all her daytime hours working, and she did not go out after work, but went straight home.

Even so, she felt as if every moment dragged on longer than usual.

Missing the handsome face that she used to see with just a lift of her eyes or a turn of her head, her heart always harbored a bit of sorrow and faint longing.

Especially at night, when Wen Ran lay alone on the spacious bed, without that warm presence or his gentle whispers, she couldn’t even sleep well.

Fortunately, Mo Xiuchen called her every night to say goodnight, and in the morning, he also called to wish her a good morning.

That day, Qin Mu came to the G City headquarters for a meeting and invited Wen Ran to have lunch with him.

They had intended to invite Gu Kai as well, but he wouldn’t finish his surgery until the afternoon and Wen Jin had a client meeting, so it ended up being just the two of them for lunch.

“Ranran, you look much better than you did a while ago,” Qin Mu smiled as he looked at Wen Ran. Not having seen her for three months, she had gained weight and her face bore a healthy glow, no longer painfully pale.

Wen Ran raised an eyebrow and smiled self-deprecatingly, “Not only do I look better, I’ve also gained weight. Mo Xiuchen treats me like a pig, making me drink all sorts of nourishing soups.”

Qin Mu chuckled, “Is that so? At this rate, by this time next year, you might weigh two hundred kilos.”

“My gosh, Qin Mu, you’re scaring me! Is it that exaggerated?”

Wen Ran’s face changed dramatically as she stared at Qin Mu, her hands cradling her cheeks and a frown forming on her brow. She had put on some weight, but she didn’t think she could reach two hundred kilos.

“Given your growth rate these past weeks, it’s possible,” Qin Mu said, barely holding back a laugh, and nodded seriously.

Wen Ran cried out, then suddenly thought of something, a sly look flashing in her eyes, “Hmm, then I’ll just aim for two hundred kilos.”

If she were to have twins or something, and kept up the nourishment, reaching one hundred and forty or fifty kilos might be achievable.

Unable to hold back his amusement, Qin Mu laughed and swapped a plate of seafood from in front of him with hers, “Then eat a bit more.”

Wen Ran nodded unceremoniously, “I love this. By the way, why didn’t An Lin come with you?”

“She took a few days off and went home; she hasn’t returned to City C yet.”

“An Lin took leave to go home?” Wen Ran blinked in confusion; it had been a long time since she had contacted An Lin. Qin Mu nodded, took a sip of water from the glass on the table, and replied nonchalantly, “She went home to go matchmaking.”

Wen Ran looked at Qin Mu in slight surprise, An Lin had gone home for matchmaking?

“Ranran, Ah Mu.”

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind. Wen Ran turned around and saw Shen Yuting and a woman she did not recognize approaching them.

A flash of astonishment crossed Wen Ran’s eyes and her expression slightly altered.

Seeing Shen Yuting, she couldn’t help but remember that day when Shen Yuting had made her buy spices and then had someone say those things to upset her, and even blamed her father’s car accident and injuries on her. She didn’t want to interact with her anymore.

She slightly curled the corners of her mouth, “Sister Ting, are you here for a meal too?”

Qin Mu was in City C and was not aware of the issues with Shen Yuting during this time, as neither Mo Xiuchen nor Gu Kai had told him.

Seeing Wen Ran’s cold attitude towards Shen Yuting, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not speak.

Shen Yuting smiled and nodded, “Yes, I’m here for a meal with a friend. It’s such a coincidence to see just the two of you. Is Mo Xiuchen not with you?”

“Mo Xiuchen was on a business trip. Did Sister Ting need him for something?” Wen Ran pretended not to understand her implication.

“No, I was just curious. Normally, you and Mo Xiuchen are inseparable, yet today he isn’t with you. It turns out he is on a business trip; no wonder,” Shen Yuting finished speaking and glanced over the dishes on their table before adding, “Ranran, I’m going abroad in a few days. I had intended to call you to say goodbye, but I happened to run into you today unexpectedly.”

Wen Ran was slightly stunned.

“I’m going abroad to work on a research project, and maybe, I won’t come back,” Shen Yuting said toward the end, her tone tinged with a hint of sadness as she stared intently at Wen Ran.

She wanted to know if it was Wen Ran’s idea for her to go abroad.

Wen Ran was somewhat surprised, “Not coming back at all?”

“Yes. Anyway, there’s nothing I’m attached to in G City,” a flicker of resentment crossed Shen Yuting’s heart; it seemed that it really was Wen Ran who wanted to send her away.

She had taken everything from her, and now, she couldn’t even tolerate her presence in G City, wanting to expel her from the country. She could go abroad as she wished, only…

Wen Ran furrowed her brows. Shen Yuting’s remark about having nothing to miss in G City seemed to erase her brother’s and father’s kindness towards her. Wen Ran wanted to say that it was all a misunderstanding, but before she could speak, Shen Yuting dropped a remark, “Ranran, you and Ah Mu enjoy your meal; I’m going ahead with my friend.”

After Shen Yuting and her friend left, Qin Mu noticed Wen Ran was lost in thought and gently asked, “Ranran, what are you thinking about?”

“I’m wondering why Shen Yuting wants to go abroad.”

A trace of puzzlement flickered in Wen Ran’s clear eyes.

Qin Mu slightly raised his handsome brow, “Didn’t you hear her? She’s going to work on a research project. She went once last year too; it’s probably Ah Kai who asked her to go. It’s beneficial for her.”

“Qin Mu, didn’t you know she has already left Kangning Hospital?”

“Ah?”

Qin Mu stared blankly at Wen Ran.

Wen Ran briefly explained the situation, “Could her going abroad still be related to my brother? I felt something strange in the way she looked at me just now.”

Wen Ran frowned, wondering if she was being overly sensitive.

Qin Mu recalled their recent conversation, and okay, he admitted, he hadn’t paid much attention to Shen Yuting; his eyes had mostly been on Wen Ran.

“Really? Maybe you’re overthinking it. Since she’s left Kangning Hospital, whether she goes abroad or not, you shouldn’t need to be concerned about it.”

Wen Ran lowered her eyes, speaking softly, “I’m just a bit surprised she would suddenly go abroad. I wonder how things are going for her and Jiang Liu.”

While speaking, Wen Ran’s gaze flicked to Shen Yuting, who was a few tables away; her expression subtly changed as she looked directly in that direction.

“Ranran, what happened?”

Curiously following Wen Ran’s gaze, Qin Mu only saw Shen Yuting dashing toward the restroom.

“It’s nothing.” Wen Ran withdrew her gaze, recalling how she had just seen Shen Yuting seemingly covering her mouth to vomit as she hurried to the restroom. Her first thought was, could she be pregnant?

But then she thought, even if Shen Yuting were pregnant, it was irrelevant to them. Wen Ran chuckled self-deprecatingly; if it weren’t for her brother and father, she really wouldn’t bother with Shen Yuting.

After finishing their meal, Qin Mu and Wen Ran got up to leave. As they did, Wen Ran didn’t notice the server behind her sidestepping a child and shifting toward her, unprepared for the guests to suddenly rise, leading her to bump the tray carrying soup directly into Wen Ran.
